Sunflower.
"Deep down, I know she's still calling out to me. I still hear her voice yelling for me. I must find her. My little sunflower."
——
"Sasuke-kun?" Hinata calls out from her room.
"Coming." He steps out of his room and walks towards hers.
"What is it?" He says as she spins around to show off her outfit.
He blushes a bit but turns away.
"I-It looks nice." He stutters causing her to smile.
It was their first date together and Sasuke had planned to go to an aquarium after Kakashi's advice from yesterday.
-Yesterday-
"Sasuke-kun, long time no see." Sasuke heard causing him to turn around to see Kakashi.
"What do you want?" Sasuke sighs as Kakashi pats him on the back.
"Don't be hasty, I came here to ask you out." He says making Sasuke move like 10 feet away from him.
Kakashi noticing his wording, quickly changes his tone.
"Not like that!" He waves his hands out of panic.
"It just that me and the others-." He gets cut off by Sasuke.
"It's 'the others and I.' " He corrects him.
Kakashi roles his eyes before emphasizing the following:
"Well the others and I were wondering if you like to go karaoke-ing with us. We're trying to hook up Yamato with some girl he's been seeing."
"So?" Sasuke asks wondering how him attending to this group karaoke thing is going to help.
"So there will be other girls involved and you might meet someone too!" He says.
"No, thanks." Sasuke sighs.
"Why not-unless...you got a girlfriend?" Kakashi says all smug-like.
Sasuke suddenly remembers Hinata's smiling face as he reddens a bit and turns away.
"Yes." He answers.
"Woah, have you taken her out yet?" He winks which causes Sasuke to roll his eyes.
"Taken her out?"
"Like on a date."
He thought about it and felt the background behind him turn gloomy.
"I'm guessing you haven't." Kakashi sighs.
"Here." Kakashi suddenly handed him two blue tickets.
"What is this?" He asks flipping them over.
"Tickets to the aquarium, you'll need them more than Yamato does."
"I don't need-." He gets cut off again.
"Trust me, you'll thank me once you see her eyes light up." He says before walking away.
-Later that day-
"Hinata, we're going to the aquarium tomorrow."
Is he trying to ask me out on a date? She thought before tilting her head and then smirking.
"Not with that attitude." She says causing him to get flustered.
"Fine, w-will you go to the aquarium with me tomorrow?" He said looking away to hide his blushing face.
"Okay!" She smiled at him.
-PRESENT -
She looked at Sasuke who had a plain t-shirt on and some sweatpants.
Maybe I put too much thought into this? She laughed nervously.
"Let's go." He says as she follows him out.
—
"We have to tell Hinata." TenTen says concerned-like.
"No, if we tell her now she'll only get false hope. We need to find out the truth first then tell her." Neji says making TenTen sigh but agree with his logic.
"Then who can we ask?" She pouts.
"Only one guy." He says as he drags her out of the book store.
UZUMAKI RESIDENCE
"Him?! But he hurt Hinata!"TenTen crosses her arms.
"Yes but his family is good at tracking people down. Besides if there's anyone more interested in Hinata, it's him." He says walking to the gates of the enormous white mansion standing behind it.
"Didn't seem like it on prom night." She crosses her arms only to be greeted by Naruto.
"What are you doing?" They heard behind them causing them to turn around.
"Naruto! Just the man I didn't want to see!" TenTen says sarcastically.
"Very funny. Now, why are you at my house?" He says.
"We need your help." Neji says which stuns him.
Neji needs my help? It must be serious then. He thought. All though, he was Hinata's cousin; Naruto was never fond of him. He had bad vibes whenever he was near and would always carry a dark aura when he was around him. If looks could kill, he would've surely been dead.
"Let's go inside." Naruto said stuffing his hands into his coat as the gates open.
"Please, sit." Naruto says.
Never thought he would be polite. TenTen thinks as she sits next to Neji.
He's acting strange. He's only acts like that when he's around. Neji wonders looking around the household for someone.
"So, what did you want?" He asks.
"Right." Neji says pulling out the book for his bag and showing it to Naruto.
"Do you want me to read it? Or autograph it?" Naruto jokes around.
"Don't be an idiot, look at the author!" TenTen points causing his eyes to follow.
"Oi, isn't this Hinata's father?!" He says loudly looking inside the book.
"There's no author info, we tried." Neji sighed.
"So, you want me to help find him?" Naruto asks as they nod.
"I'll do it for Hinata." He says before hearing footsteps walking in their direction.
"I'll do it for Hinata." The voice mocks him causing them to turn around.
Eh?! There's two of-TenTen's thought gets interrupted by Neji.
I knew it. Neji thinks to himself.
"Long time no see,
Menma."
